CBA companies met to decide on a playoff schedule for this season
It is understood that on March 26, the CBA company held a special meeting, this meeting, determined the CBA playoff format this season, and finally, the CBA playoff format was determined to be 3-3-5-7. What does this mean, here, the author is also to explain to the fans that according to the rules of the CBA league, the top 12 teams in the regular season will advance to the playoffs.
In the playoffs, the top four teams will directly advance to the quarterfinals, while the teams in the 9-12 places will have a cross PK, that is, a 12-in-8 game, then, the 12-8 game will use a best-of-three system, and winning two games will advance to the quarterfinals. The following quarter-finals, the quarterfinals, also used a best-of-three format, winning two games to advance to the semifinals.
Then there's the Final Four, the so-called semifinals, which are best-of-five and advance to the CBA Finals by winning three games. The CBA Finals will use a best-of-seven system, which means that to win the CBA championship, you must win four games in the Finals.
The league schedule is in full swing
As we all know, after entering the playoffs, each team will take 200% of their energy to play, and there is no doubt that the playoffs have become a condensation of the CBA season and the essence of the entire league. Since the beginning of the 2019-2020 season, due to the influence of external factors, the CBA company has adjusted both the regular season and the playoffs, compressing some schedules.
Especially in the playoffs, it's completely like going through a game, 12 to 8, one game to determine the victory, and in the CBA Finals, there are only three games and two wins, which also makes fans very enjoyable to watch. Of course, the league arrangement is in a state of stagnation, which is also a helpless move, after all, the CBA league can open normally, which is a very good phenomenon.
In the 2018-2019 season, the CBA playoffs are played in a 3-5-7-7 format, that is, 12 into 8, using a best-of-three system; 8 to 4 with a best-of-five format, and a best-of-seven format for both the semifinals and the finals!
Since the CBA resumed home and away games on March 1, many fans are also looking forward to the playoffs being able to return to their previous appearance, so that everyone can watch more games! However, the CBA still compressed the playoffs, which still made fans feel a little disappointed.
Yao Ming also has helpless bitterness
Of course, Yao Ming is also quite helpless to compress the number of playoff games, because the regular season can no longer be compressed, and this has a relevant agreement with the sponsor, otherwise it will deduct money. However, the number of playoff games is not signed with sponsors, so the playoffs have become a space for adjustment.
As we all know, starting from August 25, the Chinese men's basketball team will participate in the 2023 World Cup, this World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team has a very clear goal, that is, to achieve good results, to do their best to advance to the World Cup round of 16, to capture the best results of Asian teams, so as to get a place to advance to the 2024 Olympic Games in advance.
According to the number of Olympic participants, only the top place in each continent can qualify directly for the Olympic Games. If the Chinese men's basketball team cannot get a direct Olympic spot, then if the team wants to break through the Olympic Games, it is whimsical and will be a completely impossible task. Therefore, if the Chinese men's basketball team wants to participate in the Olympic Games, there is only one way, that is, to achieve good results in the World Cup.
In the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team achieved the worst results in team history, thus missing the Olympic Games and causing the team to suffer an unprecedented blow. Therefore, this time Yao Ming wants the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve good results in the World Cup and thus get the Olympic spot.
From the current strength of Chinese men's basketball players, if the team wants to improve its combat effectiveness in a short period of time, then long-term training may be the only feasible way, in the past, the Chinese men's basketball team has also done such things, and has also received some good results. In order to coach Jordjevic more training time, Yao Ming only had to compress the number of CBA league games. So, can Djordjevic improve the level of Chinese men's basketball players through long training camps? Let's wait and see about this question!
Of course, here the author also suggests that if it is not the men's basketball World Cup year, the CBA playoffs can still be adjusted, for example, all the top 16 in the regular season enter the playoffs, and then, all use the seven-game four-win format, only in this way will fans be more enjoyable to watch! What do you say, officers?
